Michigan Wolverines Football 
Every college football aficionado needs to make a trip to The Big House at some point. Michigan Stadium is the largest stadium in the United States, with a capacity of more than 107,000. It has seen its share of gridiron history, with more likely to come.

The Michigan Wolverines started playing football in 1879, became an inaugural member of the Big Ten Conference in 1896, and have won more games than any other team. They’ve won numerous national titles and conference championships, and boast more than 80 consensus All-America selections. The Wolverines have also rostered three Heisman Trophy winners and a President of the United States (Gerald Ford, the team’s MVP in 1934).

Michigan counts Michigan State and Notre Dame among its longtime rivals, but any college football fan knows that the Ohio State matchup matters most in Ann Arbor. The Wolverines and Buckeyes first squared off in 1897, with the rivalry reaching its apex during “The Ten Year War” between legendary coaches Bo Schembechler and Woody Hayes.

“The Game” has been played annually since 1918, with Michigan hosting in odd-numbered years. Michigan holds a clear edge in the series.

Believe it or not, The Wave is a sight to see at a Michigan game. Sure, you’ve seen it elsewhere, but not with close to 110,000 people involved.

Make sure to learn the words to “The Victors” – arguably college football’s best fight song – before your trip to Ann Arbor. It’ll make your stay much more fun.
